In these few minutes, all the expectations and illusions that Sutter has been maintaining about what his father is like come crashing to the ground.</p> <p>Editorially, there are at least a few things that are interesting here. Normally, a dialogue scene like this would be done in matching sizes; it would be a tête à tête between Sutter and his father, with occasional cutaways to Aimee to "keep her in the scene." However, Shailene Woodley's performance here, as it was throughout the film, was extraordinary, even though she was mostly reacting to the dialogue between the two men. James Ponsoldt and I felt that by having her and Sutter share the screen equally, she could act as the lens through which the audience observed this increasingly uncomfortable exchange. We only went to Sutter's close-up near the end of the scene, when the dad's full callousness is revealed. </p> <p>Other important choices in this scene involved keeping Roberta's impatience and the dad's growing distraction a factor in the proceedings; leaving the intimacy of the booth to occasionally open up the scene; and timing the end of the country song so as to create a depressing emptiness in the room at just the right moment.</p></p><p><strong>Cast:</strong> <a href="https://vimeo.com/hypersquared">DARRIN NAVARRO : Film Editor</a></p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:The+Spectacular+Now">The Spectacular Now</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:James+Ponsoldt">James Ponsoldt</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Tim+Tharp">Tim Tharp</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Scott+Neustadter">Scott Neustadter</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Michael+H.+Weber">Michael H.

This is the tale of Sutter Keely (Miles Teller), a high school senior and effortless charmer, and of how he unexpectedly falls in love with "the good girl" Aimee Finecky (Shailene Woodley). What starts as an unlikely romance becomes a sharp-eyed, straight-up snapshot of the heady confusion and haunting passion of youth – one that doesn’t look for tidy truths. The film was written by Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber (500) DAYS OF SUMMER and also features wonderful supporting turns from Brie Larson, Kyle Chandler, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.</p> <p>Clip provided by MPRM Communications.</p></p><p><strong>Cast:</strong> <a href="https://vimeo.com/user1258864">The Playlist</a></p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:The+Spectacular+Now">The Spectacular Now</a> and <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:James+Ponsoldt">James Ponsoldt</a></p>tag:vimeo,2014-01-12:clip83969736'The Spectacular Now' Shooting The Film ClipJames Ponsoldt (THE SPECTACULAR NOW) | InterviewWed, 21 Aug 2013 04:18:15 -0400http://vimeo.com/72801671Smells Like Screen Spirit<p><a href="https://vimeo.com/72801671"><img src="https://i.vimeocdn.com/video/446753336_200x150.jpg" alt="" /></a></p><p><p class="first">Don Simpson sits down with director James Ponsoldt to have a conversation about his latest film The Spectacular Now.</p></p><p><strong>Cast:</strong> <a href="https://vimeo.com/smellslikescreenspirit">Smells Like Screen Spirit</a> and <a href="https://vimeo.com/user5239804">Don Simpson</a></p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:The+Spectacular+Now">The Spectacular Now</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:James+Ponsoldt">James Ponsoldt</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Film">Film</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Movie">Movie</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Cinema">Cinema</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Interview">Interview</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Smells+Like+Screen+Spirit">Smells Like Screen Spirit</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Don+Simpson">Don Simpson</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Comedy">Comedy</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Drama">Drama</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Miles+Teller">Miles Teller</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Shailene+Woodley">Shailene Woodley</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Brie+Larson">Brie Larson</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Jennifer+Jason+Leigh">Jennifer Jason Leigh</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Mary+Elizabeth+Winstead">Mary Elizabeth Winstead</a> and <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Kyle+Chandler">Kyle Chandler</a></p>tag:vimeo,2013-08-21:clip72801671James Ponsoldt (THE SPECTACULAR NOW) | InterviewThe Spectacular Now -

Weber)</p> <p>Sutter Keely lives in the now. It’s a good place for him. A high school senior, charming and self-possessed, he’s the life of the party, loves his job at a men’s clothing store, and has no plans for the future. A budding alcoholic, he’s never far from his supersized, whisky-fortified 7UP cup. But after being dumped by his girlfriend, Sutter gets drunk and wakes up on a lawn with Aimee Finicky hovering over him. Not a member of the cool crowd, she’s different: the “nice girl” who reads science fiction and doesn’t have a boyfriend. She does have dreams, while Sutter lives in a world of impressive self-delusion. And yet they’re drawn to each other.<br> Adapted from Tim Tharp’s novel, The Spectacular Now captures the insecurity and confusion of adolescence without looking for tidy truths. Young actors rarely portray teens with the maturity that Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley display, and they are phenomenal together. Funny, compassionate, and poignant, James Ponsoldt’s third feature again demonstrates his ability to lay bare the souls of his characters.<br> Cast: Miles Teller, Shailene Woodley, Brie Larson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kyle Chandler and Bob Odenkirk.<br> Synopsis courtesy of the Sundance Film Festival</p> <p>About Sundance Film Festival USA:</p> <p>“Sundance Film Festival USA celebrates the theaters and audiences that are an integral part of supporting and encouraging the work of independent filmmakers.
